Ovulation Bleeding and Acupuncture Chinese medicine

ovulation bleeding and acupuncture Chinese medicine

Have you ever noticed a bit of spotting in the middle of your menstrual cycle, or even experienced what feels like “two periods” in one month? Well, that’s what we call “ovulation bleeding.” And guess what? Acupuncture and Chinese medicine might just have some insights into it!

Understanding Ovulation Bleeding:

Hanging Out with Hormones: Around days 14-16 of your cycle, you might see some spotting or light bleeding. This is due to the hormonal rollercoaster ride, especially the drop in estrogen after ovulation. It triggers a mini-shedding of the endometrium, resulting in light bleeding. You might even experience mild tummy cramps as a bonus.

What to Expect:

  • It’s not a full-on period; the bleeding is less than your regular flow.
  • The color might be dark red or brown, sometimes with a bit of mucus.
  • You might feel some mild cramping.
  • The good news? It usually calms down on its own after ovulation.

Handling It:

Most of the time, there’s no need to stress. But if the bleeding is more than you’d like, your doc might suggest a low-dose estrogen or short-acting contraceptives.

When Things Get Complicated:

If the bleeding seems excessive, it could signal other issues like hormonal imbalances or structural quirks. It’s a good idea to consult your doc for a closer look and some targeted care.

Exploring Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture:

TCM’s Perspective on Ovulation Bleeding: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture takes centre stage to balance your qi, blood, and overall well-being.

Fun Strategies:

  1. Boosting Qi and Blood Flow: Target spots like ST36, GV4, and CV4 to keep things flowing smoothly.
  2. Warming Up the Body: Points like BL20, BL23, and CV4 help kick cold vibes to the curb.
  3. Harmonising Yin and Yang: Specific points help balance the yin and yang energies.
  4. Supporting the Spleen and Kidneys: Hit BL20 and BL23 to give these organs some love and address any deficiencies.
  5. Double Nutrition Power: SP10 and CV6 points work together to nourish both qi and blood for a balanced boost.

Bridging TCM with Western Medicine:

Feeling intrigued by acupuncture for your ovulation bleeding? Why not chat with both a TCM pro and your regular doc? It’s like getting the best of both worlds—ancient wisdom and modern know-how. Your body gets the care it deserves, and you get to explore what works best for you.

So, party on—but with balance! 🎉

新冠病毒-来自墨尔本杏林中医曾医生的建议

亲爱的朋友们,随着新冠病毒在澳洲的传播,人们变得越来越紧张,我们也看到人们在购物中心恐慌性购买食品和生活用品,很多商品已经很难买到了。在这样一个特殊时期,我想和大家分享一些怎样预防新冠病毒的方法和措施。

640.jpg

首先,请大家认识到任何病毒感染都是机会性感染。

所谓机会性感染就是当你免疫力低下时,病毒这样的机会主义者就有了可趁之机而感染你。而如果你免疫力足够强大,你感染的机会就会相对较小,即使已经感染,发展成重症的概率也会相对较低。正如黄帝内经所说:

“正气存内,邪不可干”

因此重要的事就是保证:不给病毒任何机会。这包括两个方面:

第一,增强自身免疫力;

第二,避免和病毒接触。

下面介绍一些增强免疫力的方法:

  1. 保证充足的睡眠,不熬夜。足够的睡眠是修复身体最好的良药。
  2. 注意保暖,避免受凉。
  3. 健康饮食,多吃五谷杂粮和蔬菜,少吃辛辣刺激和生冷食物。
  4. 忌烟酒。有数据表明吸烟者感染新冠和发展成重症的比例明显高于非吸烟者。如果你抽烟,现在是戒烟最好的时机。
  5. 多晒太阳。阳光是大自然最好的消毒剂有证据表明日光中的紫外线对细菌和病毒都有杀灭作用。适当的日光浴可以杀死病毒,另外还可帮助补充维生素D促进钙的吸收,提高免疫力。墨尔本的秋天乃一年中最好的季节,阳光充足,秋高气爽。大家当可尽情享受。
  6. 适量规律运动。建议中等强度的运动,比如快走,慢跑,轻中度力量训练。

值得注意的地方是:运动完之后如果有出汗最好立刻洗热水澡或者至少更换干燥的衣服。

为什么呢?因为运动之后身体暂时会变得易受攻击:

首先,你的身体多少已有疲劳;

其次,停止运动后体内温度仍然较高,但出汗后衣服潮湿,体表温度降低,身体抵抗力缺暂性低下,而易致风寒邪气的袭击。

运动过后及时洗个热水澡或者至少更换干爽的衣服可减少病毒攻击的机会。

       

除了提高免疫力,我们也要避免接触病毒。正如皇帝内经所言:

“虚邪贼风,避之有时”

避免接触病毒的方法主要有:

  1. 勤洗手;
  2. 戴口罩;
  3. 避免用手接触面部五官眼睛口鼻等;
  4. 保持一定的社交距离避免去往人多的地方,避免近距离接触;
  5. 保持家里和办公室通风;
  6. 中药。

我最近读到了很多关于中药防治疗新型冠状病毒的报道。这些报道提到中药不仅能起到预防作用,同时也可以减轻患者症状,避免疾病发展成重症。有报道武汉的一些方仓医院给几乎所有轻中型感染冠状病毒的患者都服用中药汤剂,而没有一例发展成重症。

我在武汉的很多同学朋友都亲身参与了对新冠肺炎患者的救治工作。以前所在单位武汉市中医医院的一些同事和朋友也参与了雷神山医院中医诊疗工作。最近和他们作了很多详细的交流和讨论。他们给我提供了很多临床一线的一手资料和宝贵经验,包括预防、诊治方法和药方。

在这个特殊时期,我们诊所特别开通了中医远程诊治模式,如果您和您的家人有任何症状或不适,请与我们联系。我们可以通过电话或视频问诊为您准备适合您的中药,您可以来诊所自取或者我们帮您邮寄到家。
